Annual Picnic and Celebration of Roshi's 20th Year as a Teacher
 |
|
As usual, the table for the pot-luck was groaning
with delicious vegetarian grub. A huge crowd came to the picnic to honor Roshi, and
to enjoy the day. |
| |
 |
|
To celebrate Roshi's twentieth year as a teacher, we had a gorgeous (and delicious)
three-level cake |
| |
 |
|
Roshi, in his usual good-sported way, submitting to surprises, speeches,
and....cake. |

After the picnic, the games. Even though it was hot enough to boil those eggs, everyone
wanted a chance to test their skills. |

Meanwhile, behind the retreat center, the Zendo Project takes shape. |

 |
|
The day before the picnic we had a heavy rain. Sangha member, Milo, makes the best
of what the rain left in the new zendo foundation. |
